Live comments

  • 0' - The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Japan to score. At the same time, Costa Rica does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
  • 5' - Brandon Aguilera needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 10' - Japan seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 15' - It looks surprising Japan does not make any changes. Yuki Soma has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 20' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 25' - Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Japan needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 30' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ayase Ueda made 79 appearances and scored 61 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 35' - It looks like no one’s ball. Costa Rica is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 40' - Costa Rica started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 40.
  • 41' - A meaty challenge results in booking for Anthony Contreras on 41.
  • 42' - A meaty challenge results in booking for Anthony Contreras on 42.
  • 44' - Japan receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 44.

  • 51' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 51 minutes.
  • 56' - The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Japan that had 79 games and scored 18 goals.
  • 61' - The referee shows Costa Rica player a Yellow card on 61.
  • 62' - Celso Borges was booked on 62.

  • 76' - The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Shuichi Gonda suffering a number of foals already.
  • 81' - GOAL! Keysher Fuller scores on 81.
  • 82' - Japan manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Takumi Minamino is hanging Yuki Soma on the field on 82 minute.
